Prospects of logistics sector in period of economic recovery

In the current period of economic recovery, the logistics sector has experienced a faster recovery than other sectors. This recovery was driven by an increase in trade transactions through online platforms such as e-commerce.

The reason is that mobility restrictions during the pandemic have hampered interaction between buyers and sellers. Technological advances and digitalization during the pandemic have changed many things. One of the significant changes that occurred in buying and selling activities were the public’s shopping patterns, which changed from the conventional way, namely meeting buyers in the market, to shopping online. So that the pattern of people approaching goods changes to a pattern of goods approaching the community.

Business actors, including in the MSME retail sector, have also taken advantage of online platforms to sell their products. The rapid growth of e-commerce has created its own opportunities and challenges for the development of the logistics sector. Thus, the public, both as buyers and sellers, are increasingly aware of technology, and are increasingly able to take advantage of technological advances.
